Question
Why haloarenes are not reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reaction? Give two reactions.
Solution
Haloarenes are not reactive towards nucleophilic substitution reactions because of two reasons:
- The difference in the hybridisation of carbon atoms is the bond.
- Instability of phenyl cation.

Assertion: Presence of a nitro group at ortho or para position increases the reactivity of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution.
Reason: Nitro group, being an electron-withdrawing group decreases the electron density over the benzene ring.
